Some Goulburn River Aborigines told Assistant Protector Dredge of the killing of several Daungwurrung [could be Djadjawurrung or Taungurung or Ngurai-illamwurrung speakers]. They were out hunting possum when they met Mr Mundy and party. He offered them flour, which they proceeded to make into damper. However, as they were eating, Mundy and party rode up and shot several dead, including women and children. Dredge later met Mundy who in conversation told him that he did not have trouble with the "blacks" as "he had given them such a punishing as they would not readily forget." Dredge added in his diary that "no indeed, the poor creatures have not forgotten it, they continue to breathe revengeful threats at the remembrance of his name, nor would it be a matter of surprise if, at some favourable opportunity, retributive justice overtakes the culprits."
